GGG is an exciting, talented fighter with a mediocre resume, but a wicked 20 fight KO streak. There are a lot of reasons behind the less than stellar resume. He turned pro pretty late. He was ducked by Sturm for years. Then by Martinez, Cotto, Quillin, Chavez Jr and Froch, among others.
If he's able to add Cotto/Canelo winner, Lee, maybe Jacobs, Lara and then moves up and fights Ward, he'll end up okay.
But yeah, if GGG is offering to fight Floyd at 154, chances are he's a bit small at 168.
EDIT: i looked his weigh ins up and saw that he actually comes in at around 159 pretty much his entire career but i still think he can make JMW.Last edited by PulpFriction; 09-07-2015, 11:53 PM.

Definitely not his personality or character, that's for sure. Probably the above.

Golovkin is a recognized champion with 14 straight defenses by knockout. To be honest, it does not matter if he has any names. That is impressive in itself. But Liemieux is coming up and after that, hopefully Canelo or Cotto will sign on which will be a name for sure. After that, he will have plenty of pull and appeal. A year or two and he's golden. He is 33 but these days, that is not that old anymore. I could see him going to 37 or 38 easy. If he keeps fighting at the same 3-4 opponents a year, he will be around 50-0 by then and if he does hang it up, that's definitely no shameful record. Right?

This is what i always talk about. what is GGG doing, dude you're 33 with fighting style which reach past prime faster. it really is miracle GGG hasn't reach past prime yet but i guess it can be achieved if you fight can after can all of your career.
Dont believe at HBO and your promotormanager lies, at age 33 you still doesn't have career defining fight. go suck some big name ****s to get your shot.

168-175 has some great opposition, Ward, Kovalev, Hopkins, Stevenson, Pascal, DeGale Dirrell, Abraham (Not great but better opponent than anyone else at 160). GGG defenders say 160 is better than 168, just look at the fact that 168 alone has 2 Olympic Gold medalists, 1 Olympic Bronze medalist and some other former amateur stand outs like Groves, Jack, and Alvarez. GGG himself is an Olympic Silver medalist, why doesn't he join 168 with all the other Olympic medal winners? 160 has no such thing.

On one hand I appreciate how GGG is taking care of business by scoring KOs when placed against an over matched opponent, but on the other hand I can see where the thread starter is coming from. At this same age other KO artist from the previous era like: Trinidad, Pacquiao, and Roy Jones all had more than one big victory against Hall of Fame quality competition.
GGG doesn't even have one.
